Sheldon’s 1998 Ural Sportsman – Week 1 (sort of)
Note: February 29, 2000 Please keep in mind, while reading these missives, that my two Urals are 1998 modailean. I did have some problems with them, but Ural America listened to me, and to other owners and made changes at the factory in Russia, or at their plant in Washington state, that solved all of these problems on later models. Tha a ' 1998.5 and newer models came with a better ignition system, electric start on the flywheel, different carburetors and many more changes.
My bikes are wonderful rigs, but the newer ones from Ural America are much more refined. If one were to buy a new Ural you would most certainly not encounter the same ...

I was still moving at a fairly good clip when I slammed into the fallen tree. I’d be more than happy to share the exact velocity that I was moving, but I can’t. You see, I was kinda busy at that exact moment trying my darnedest not to plummet 50 feet down the side of a cliff in the mountains northeast of Seattle, Washington.
How and why did I end up in this harrowing predicament? For starters, I should explain that I was out in the beautiful Pacific Northwest testing out Ural’s latest sidecar motorcycle, the Patrol T. Similar in concept ...

Barcelona by Sidecar
Written by Administrator | Thursday, 15 An t-Samhain 2012 11:00
In Barcelona, one of the most romantic and stylish cities in Europe, the last thing you want to do is ride an embarrassing tour bus full of camera-toting tourists. But on a BrightSide private sidecar tour, which takes in the city’s sights from the sidecar of a motorcycle, you feel more like a 1950s film star on a spontaneous day trip than a tourist clamouring for the perfect shot of Gaudi’s architectural triumphs.
On a recent visit, a scruffy, David Beckham-lookalike named Peter Kulka pulled up on a green vintage motorcycle outside my hotel. After he mapped out a four-and-a-half-hour ride based on my interests ...

2011 Ural Gear-Up Sidecar Review [Video]
Having sold a total of just 18 Solo’s last year, the sT is an anomaly, to say the least. Minimal Solo sales figures are in part due to Ural’s focus on the company’s sidecar models and the unconventional portion of the market they’ve ...

Ural Retro Solo
However hard you think you’ve looked to find your dream classic bike, Mick Barker has looked further. And taken a big risk. Here is an updated version of Mick’s tale.
Buying a Bullet from the dealer in Chennai was a bit of a no-brainer. Various business trips to India had re-kindled the lust for a bike after more than 20 bliadhna, and the Enfields were so reminiscent of my old heavyweight Ajay 16MS. So a deal was done on the spot following a chance diversion past the dealer by the three wheeler auto-rickshaw driver, and subsequently the whole challenging rigmarole of customs and import and all the rest was duly learned, gone through and just about survived.
What a ...

2010 Ural Taiga
2010 Ural Taiga 750
Tha a ' 2010 Ural Taiga Limited Edition is a perfect reflection of the Russian motorcycle-maker’s initial WWII efforts to build tough and utilitarian heavy sidecar bikes. The Irbit-based company originated in the 1940s to facilitate mobilization of the Soviet army against the German Special Forces and tanks. To match the exact requirements of the military, the original Ural units were designed by reverse engineering the late 1930s BMW R71 side car bike.
Ach, what started as a matter of survival for the Red Army soon evolved into an emerging business. Due to the rise in popularity and demand for the vehicle, the manufacturing plant eventually started ...

2010 Ural sT Review, Continued
Bottom Line: A Hearty, Visceral Ride Not for the Faint of Heart
Chances are you’ll either get the Ural sT, or you won’t: riders looking for seamlessly smooth, fill-it-with-gas-and-twist-the-throttle mindlessness will likely find the sT too rough around the edges for their tastes. On the other hand, motorcyclists with a soft spot for viscerally mechanical machines that require a little bit of attention won’t sweat things like the stuck throttle I experienced, and will gladly roll up their sleeves for a bit of roadside tinkering before they reach their destinations.
The Ural sT even makes retro-style rides like the $7,699 Triumph Bonneville ...
